Beta carotene (β-Carotene) is an antioxidant that is converted by the body into vitamin A (retinol). Vitamin A is essential in maintaining health, and when taken as supplements can lower risks of disease. Carotenoids also maintain normal skin, vision, immune functioning, and mucous membranes.
Bio-Carotene contains 9mg of Beta Carotene per capsule in an easily digestible and stable form. Manufactured in an oil matrix to keep it stable and to ensure good bioavailability. Studies document that Beta Carotene supplement form has better bioavailability than when you get it from vegetables.
What is Beta Carotene?
Beta Carotene is a member of the carotenoid family of plant pigments. It is also known as pro-vitamin A, as it is converted by the body into vitamin A. Vitamin A only occurs in animal tissues (particularly liver, fish liver and dairy products), whereas Beta Carotene occurs in plant tissues (particularly carrots).
